Great info Pyara Thanks for sharing. Do you think you might 'be asking for trouble' if you decided to tie dastar this way?

wasn't a hukam given by guru hargobind sahib ji to tie not one but 2 dastaars? so wouldnt that type of pagh look more dumalla like? personally only paghs that has been safe and secure for me has been gol or dumalla. a dastaar is meant ot be respected, i dont think the old sikhs would ever wear a dastaar that could come off so easily and beadbi happen to their dastaar.
Someone told me (sorry hearsay) That we place two dastars because the muslims forbid non moslems to wear a turban so Guru Gobind Singh bettered this by asking us to wear two..ie Keski and dastar.

Thank you chatanga. i have noticed a lot of Gurmut Sangeet Raagis wear it too. I just wondered why there aren't much Sikhs wearing this style and is it because to avoid any confusion etc.

Again i apologise if I am very incorrect. Just an open question really.

Just a quick question to the Sangat, In many of the pictures I have seen portraying Guru Nanak Dev Ji his dastar looks like the style many Namdhari or Kookas wear today. My question is does anybody know more about why it is portrayed this way and whether it is suitable to tie in this way in Sikhi or are you likely to get questioned about it. I apologise if I have created offence in some way and none is intended.

"Products these days are tampered quite a bit with why not use it as an incentive to make as many stuff up from scratch...much healthier to mind and body."
Great advice GoKesh jeeo.
The only problem with vitalite could be the e471 used in it. Anchor spreadable does not seem to contain any E-numbers and might be meat free but not 100% sure. It would be great if there was a panel of Gursikhs who could contact manufacturer's and do investigation into this. Again does the veg society logo guarantee that the e numbers have been derived from plant sources and not animal sources?

Let's face it how many bugs get in out flour? I think the point is to do everything to the best of our ability. I have to say that i have seen a few sikhs eating geletinous sweets unwittingly, not only is it eating meat but could also likely be halal meat!!! I don't think we should turn a blind eye to such things. There is a lovely book I have sen at some of the local Gurdwaras called 'Why Kill A Chicken' by Bhai Joginder Singh Talwara. If you haven't read it its really worth doing so.

You could always just look for the Vegetarian Society / Vegan Society logo on products. Products these days are tampered quite a bit with why not use it as an incentive to make as many stuff up from scratch...much healthier to mind and body. In the UK as far as margarine goes Vitelite and Pure are free of animal products completely. If your ever concerned its quite easy to steer clear from such things with a few seconds to spare...leave it to the experts and look for the logo.

Seriously hate to use a cliche but really lets not be reactive but instead be active. You can let the whole thing descend into complete chaos or you can find postive ways to move forward and solve it.

Please watch this its not a million miles away from the issues we face in our own community. fighting for individual rights.

Oh yes, the Sikh gurus even helped out the Mughal emporers. How did that work out?
Helping Muslims is like feeding a crocodile, it might temporarily satiate them but they'll never stop seeing you as a target.
So in your logic, White nationalist types are going after the most powerful non-White group and then they will target the weaker ones.
In that case, the Jews are the wealthiest and more powerful non-White group in this country.
So they're not going into "divide and rule" tactics because they would have to start with the Jews.
The reality is that the EDL, unlike the BNP chose to accept non-white members of its own accord and not because of court preceedings.
EDL, Sikhs, non-Muslims. We are all under incessant attacks from Muslims. If the EDL will stand with us then that makes us allies.
The point is that throughout history there have been scapegoats. The Jewish community in Germany. Please don't condemn an entire people due to the actions of a few people. I abhor rape and i will not publish what i think should be a suitable punishment. We need to look to our Guru for answers and nowhere else. do not put your trust in allies who really don'f give a care about Sikhi because it will come back to bite you! We are lions but very JUST lions! We protect the innocent and stand up for what is right. Don't ally yourselves with the EDL they are a hate group in my opinion.

Where are the UAF and the politicians?
Leftists are in bed with the Muslims, they crave the 'Muslim vote'.
If the EDL will stand with Sikhs then they are our allies, not the Leftist Muslim lovers.
You are so confused you have forgotten how allies are supposed to be there in the time of need, the Leftists fail this condition and the EDL fulfill it.
Stop turning this into a political propoganda circus. The EDL will do anything to advance their cause. The NF failed because a lot of people from all sections of the communtiy stood up to them. The EDL are trying a different angle. pick on the muslims and then we can start on the others when they are out of the way. Sorry to say but your average thug won't know the difference between a muslim or a Khalsa. Sad fact. I agree it needs to be resolved but can anyone on this forum please tell me they have no muslim friends? i put my hands up and the ones I know are kind and not rapists. Must be because I',m a leftist then (rolls eyes) Our Gurus faught against prejudice and persecution in all forms and had many muslim friends from start to finish!

You have no idea what you are talking about. I have had breif experince meeting with edl, they are good people.
You talk about "divide and conquer" you can only divide something which is united in the first place and we are not united with Muslims, they are the oldest enermy -FACT
With all due respect I do know what i am talking about please don't respond that way. Maybe they are your kind of people. Not all muslims are the same please treat people on a person to person basis. Guru Nanak Dev Ji did exactly that.

Don't trust them divide and conquer. It is Muslims today - who tomorrow? Seriously? Its easy to fight on smaller sections stage by stage. Real your history and the pages are littered with the same tactic. Sorry. To the average skinhead it doesn't mean a difference unfortunately. There is just a lot of lip biting and masking going on. Don't mean to be negative just think Sangat needs to be very careful as other posters have already said.

Whilst I agree with this guy's comments I hope he is inspired and replaces that cap with a crown.

Oh and its a survey of 50,000 respondents. To give an overview of a country with well over 60,000,000?????

That story stinks of sensationalism. Hinduism up 43% I assume that a fair percentage of that is due to Hare Krishna figures? Think we get a slightly better picture from Census figures to be blunt. Just look at the headline its there to scare its core readership probably.

Just relax, be yourself and get on with life. As previously said people can pick up on desperation and lack of confidence in seconds. Get on with living and have faith in Guru Ji.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
Wales85. I'm also Welsh and started to go to Gurdwara last October. Through the generousity of the Sangat at Manchester they hold lessons at Gurdwara and were happy for me to sit in to learn. It's a bit of slow progress and you have to get over the fact that its mainly children, who are excellent learners, and in many ways the teachers. Do they have similar lessons at your Gurdwara? You would be amazed how much the Sangat is willing to help with offers of lessons and or books. Otherwise there's some pretty cheap and useful guides on auction sites that have helped me too. You have the advantage of a Punjabi speaking partner! A real blessing!
